• 1 cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)

• 2 cups rolled oats

• ½ cup unsweetened applesauce

• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

• 2–4 tablespoons water (as needed for consistency)

1. Blend the oats: Add rolled oats to a blender or food processor and pulse until they form a fine flour.

2. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, applesauce, honey (if using), and oat flour. Stir until a dough forms.

3. Adjust texture: Add water one tablespoon at a time if needed, until the dough is firm but workable.

4. Roll and cut: Roll the dough between parchment paper to about ¼-inch thickness. Use a bone-shaped cookie cutter to cut treats.

5. Chill: Place treats on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

• Store treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

• For longer storage, freeze in a sealed freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

• Thaw frozen treats in the fridge before serving.

• Small dogs (under 20 lbs): ½–1 small treat per day

• Medium dogs (20–50 lbs): 1–2 treats per day

• Large dogs (50+ lbs): 2–3 treats per day

Always adjust portions based on your dog’s size, diet, and activity level.
